The Zoo over Ambuscade Street

Not having a phone in my house sucks! Especially when it's my only link to the internet...But it's working for now, yay. And I managed to finish Year of Wonders (good book!) and get about halfway through The Horns of Elfland last night, so it wasn't completely unproductive.

I now have solid and colclusive proof that are doctors are, in fact, evil demonic beings worthy of my undying hate. I've always suspected that to be true, but until now there was no proof - I am denied cheese and sandwiches. How, I ask, am I expected to survive without cheese and sandwiches?!? I suspect the answer is "tofu and veggie stir-fry" and "tuna melts," but to someone who could happily live off nothing but assorted combinations of bread and cheese, it's heartbreaking.

Frozen grapes, however, are encouraged (yum!), and I've been directed to double my walks to either three miles every other day, or a mile and a half every day. Right now I'm going to mile and a half every day route, because doing otherwise would either put me walking past an aggressive dog or walking the same route twice. I get to traumatize Kamikaze Attack Rabbits, get attacked by swarms of Virginia's Own nasty insects, and sweat half to death becuase of the humidity, but if I remember to grab my camera I might get some interesting shots.
